Small RNAs are short non-coding RNAs with a length ranging between 20 and 24
nucleotides. Of these, microRNAs (miRNAs) play a distinct role in plant development …

While the role of proteins in determining cell identity has been extensively studied, the
contribution of small noncoding RNA molecules such as miRNAs and siRNAs has been also …

Recent achievements in plant microRNA (miRNA), a large class of small and non-coding
RNAs, are very exciting. A wide array of techniques involving forward genetic, molecular …

Plant development progresses through distinct phases: vegetative growth, followed by a
reproductive phase and eventually seed set and senescence. The transitions between these …

Members of the MADS-box transcription factor family play essential roles in almost every
developmental process in plants. Many MADS-box genes have conserved functions across …

The development and coordination of complex tissues in eukaryotes requires precise spatial
control of fate-specifying genes. Although investigations of such control have traditionally …

Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) are embedded in regulatory networks that coordinate different
gene expression programs in support of developmental plasticity. Modification of miRNA …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of newly discovered endogenous small RNAs,
which negatively regulate gene expression at the post‐transcription levels. As the …

The formation of flowers is one of the main models for studying the regulatory mechanisms
that underlie plant development and evolution. Over the past three decades, extensive …

Floral homeotic transcription factors (TFs) act in a combinatorial manner to specify the organ
identities in the flower. However, the architecture and the function of the gene regulatory …
